FAQs
No, Trex composite decking does not require sealing or staining. The capped surface protects the decking from moisture, staining, and fading, so no additional maintenance like staining or sealing is necessary.
Yes, Trex composite decking expands and contracts with temperature fluctuations, as with most composite materials. To account for this natural movement, it?s essential to leave a gap between boards during installation. The recommended gap is 5mm to 8mm for end-to-end board spacing and 3mm to 5mm between side edges of the boards. These gaps ensure that the decking can expand and contract without causing buckling or warping.
Trex recommends using screws designed for composite decking, such as those made from stainless steel or coated to resist corrosion. Avoid using regular wood screws as they can cause splitting or rust.
Trex composite decking is designed to resist fading due to its durable, capped surface, but slight fading may occur over time due to exposure to the sun. However, it maintains its colour longer than many other decking options.
While Trex composite decking is scratch-resistant, it is not scratch-proof. Heavy furniture or sharp objects can cause scratches. Trex 's surface is designed to withstand normal wear, but it's advisable to avoid dragging furniture or sharp items across it.
